Did not make my question clear. I am flying into EWR Terminal A on United Airlines from Halifax and connecting to a United Airlines flight out of Terminal C. Can I take the United Airline shuttle from A to C? Where do I find it?

Hi,
I am doing a transfer in Newark Airport tomorrow. It is a connection, not two separate flights. I arrive in terminal B, and have to get a flight in terminal C. I am flying from Spain, and I have 1:45 hours to get my next flight.
What is the general procedure? Do I have to go through immigration & customs, wait for my bags, then check them in again, pass security again??
Since this is not my final destination, I was hoping I did not have to go through Border & customs until I reach my final destination.
Thank you!

Yes, in Newark you will arrive in Terminal B, go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the re-check desk, then take the AirTrain to Terminal C, go through security, and to your departure gate. You should have barely enough time if everything goes smoothly.

Thanks a lot ZAP, I just have one extra question: I phoned United Airlines and they told me everything as you said, except for the security pass at the end. They said that there is no need for it because I am coming from inside the airport. I guess this is a mistake since TB and TC are different, but just want to make sure of this.
Thanks again!

You will likely arrive in Terminal B, go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the re-check desk, then take the AirTrain to Terminal C, go through security, and to your departure gate. You should have barely enough time if everything goes smoothly.

We are arriving in EWR Terminal B on a foreign carrier and then transferring to United for domestic. Two separate reservations. After customs, do I take my bags on Air train to Terminal C or can I check bags in at a desk right after customs?

You should be OK, just because they start boarding an hour before (in reality more like 45 minutes before) doesn't mean you absolutely have to be there then. Also, I think you WILL be there an hour before departure.

Flying DCA-EWR and have to connect with a flight EWR to BCN, both on United. I have a 1 hour connection time (DCA plane lands at EWR at 6:15, and EWR-BCN plane takes off at 7:1). There will be some baggage checked, and some small carry on. Assuming the flight is on time, will I have time to get to the connecting flight, which I assume will be in a different terminal, as it is international, on time?

EWR doesn't have an "International" and "Domestic" terminal, it has 3 terminals, two of which handle international flights and all 3 of which handle domestic flights. You will arrive in Terminal A, where most United Express flights arrive and depart from Terminal C, where all United mainline flights depart. United has a shuttle bus that runs inside security between their gates in A and C. You have enough time if your first flight is on-time.

Hello my flight was CDG to EWR to TPA..I didn't do my home work and was surprised I had to go through security again...Is that the norm? I think when going through ATL last year I was able to stay Airside..can you tell me if JFK requires another security check?

Yes, every passenger entering the US and going through customs has to go through security afterwards if connecting to another flight. You are mistaken about ATL. Maybe you forget because at ATL everything is contained within the International arrivals area.

If both tickets were bought on the same reservation then you will not have to do anything with your baggage. If you take the shuttle bus you will not have to go through security, if you take the AirTrain you will have to go through security.

Arrive EWR Terminal C at 10:56am from St. John's, Canada with connecting flight from Terminal C to MCO at 12:45pm. Both are United flights. Enough time to collect baggage, go through Customs, re-check baggage and board the MCO flight?

I'm not US citizen. I'm going from Barcelona (Spain) to San José (Costa Rica) taking a connecting in Newark. I arrive to Terminal B (13:50) in a Lufthansa flight and I depart from Terminal C (17:55) in a United flight. Will I need to pick up my checked baggage and come through security again? Will I need to go through some form of passport control? Is this enough time between flights? Thanks

Both flights will be operated by United. Yes, you will have to go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the re-check desk, then take the AirTrain to Terminal C if you do not arrive there, then go through security. 4 hours is plenty of time.

Hi! I am arriving for my connecting flight at 6:46 PM and my next flight departs at 7:40 PM. I don't have any checked baggage, just carry ons. I don't know the terminals yet, but I am really worried that I won't have enough time to get to my connecting flight in time with such a short period of time. I'm 14 and flying by myself. Is that enough time? ANd if not, what will happen? thank you!

You will arrive in Terminal A and depart from Terminal C. United has a shuttle bus between the two terminals that runs inside security. You have enough time if your first flight is on-time. If you miss your connection you will be put on the next flight to Los Angeles. There are two more later flights that evening.

Hi, I am flying United from XNA to EWR and have a connecting flight to MAD In 1 hour and 1 min. I have 1 luggage and a carry on. Will I have to pick up and recheck in EWR and will I run short on the time? What's the better option to going to Terminal A to C? Train or bus? Thank you!!

Hi, I'm travelling Newark to Chicago from Birmingham UK.. I have a stop in Newark before Chicago departure & it is 1hr 35 mins.. will I have enough time to check in & bags etc? I'm determined I will miss my flight! v worried!! Thanks.

Hi, I am flying United from ORD to EWR and have a connecting flight to international destination in 1 hour and 50 min. I might have up to 3 luggages and a carry on. Will I have to pick up and recheck in EWR and will I run short on the time? Maybe I will have to smile and be very polite and ask folks to let me through if need to go through security? Thank you!!

No, you will not have to pick up your bags in EWR. There is no US Customs when exiting the US. You will not have to go through security either. You just have to go from your arrival gate to your departure gate. You should have plenty of time.
